Charity Play a runaway success – Thank you Note

We are absolutely delighted to announce that The Glen Theatre Drama Group’s production of John B. Keane’s play, “The Rain at the End of the Summer”, held at the Glen Theatre last Sunday night (11th) was a resounding success.

 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of The Glen Theatre Drama Group, all proceeds from tickets sales were donated to Rathcoole NS Parents of Children with Additional Needs Support Group.  Director Tadgh O’Keeffe kindly presented Colette O’Keeffe & Maria Buckley with a cheque for €1000.00.

These funds will be dedicated to purchasing essential equipment and resources for all pupils, but in particular the neurodivergent children with additional needs attending Rathcoole National School.

Thank you to everyone who attended the night or donated.  Your kindness makes a huge contribution to the lives of these pupils.

 The Glen Theatre Drama Group are bringing this magnificent play to The Everyman Theatre on Thursday 15th August and The Civic Theatre, Dublin on Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th August.

Philip Lenihan commands the stage as patriarch Joss O’Brien whose moral attitude conflicts with his ambitious son, Jamesy, played by Tadhg Curtin, while daughter and soon to be nun Eillie, played by Sinead Guiney tries to keep the peace.  With our own extremely talented vice principal Maureen O’Brien as feisty housekeeper Kate and past pupils Olivia Lehane and Diarmuid Cronin as the newly engaged couple, Penny & Toddy, and Anna Lehane as stagehand, this show is a must see!

Looking for a bit of assistance

I am a Manager for SSE Renewables,

we have an apprentice starting on site on Oct 7th this year until May 26th when he returns to Kerry College for year 2 of his studies

He is 21 and a very respectable young man , what we are looking for is a room to rent for this period , as I said he is an apprentice so this room / accommodation needs to be a reasonable priced option ( Budget is between €100 – €150 P/Week)

He would need access to cooking facilities etc…if you think you have something to suit or know somebody who might I would really appreciate a call / message

Many Thanks

Eily’s Report – 13th August

Dia is Mhuire dióbh go léir a cairde and welcome to my Report.

Oh the Olympics, will we ever be the same again. The high that we have been on for the past two weeks and more will take a long time to die down. Not that we were glued to it all the but it was always on, just in case you’d miss something. No other station was turned but the ones that carried the story and details of what was happening in Paris and what a show the city and indeed the whole country put on from the  spectacular opening  down the Seine to the earth moving finale on Sunday evening. Was it a little ironic that we had thunder and lightening here at that very time, almost like we were joining in on the spectacular event with fireworks of our own.  I’ve lost count of how many winners we have, but for a small country we must be leading on average. Marty Morrissey is having a tough time on the telly just now as he tries  to interview them all. In  the past we were glad to have the O’Donovans and a few more but this time there is a whole crowd of medal-holders so it’s not easy. My poor feeble mind would have no hope of storing up details of the who’s who but the one thing that stood out for me was the dedication, the determination it takes to become a winner. These people are a people apart not everybody has the gumption, the drive that they have to devote their young lives to sport and give themselves and their country a reason to be proud, to stand out among the nations of the world better than the best.  You could not but notice regardless of race, creed or colour the way that so many contestants prayed earnestly to their God to help them achieve their goal and give Thanks after again.

  At the end of the day the great thing was the safety at which it all went. Big crowds are pretty daunting things these days, with threats overshadowing them from many quarters so at the end of the day I think that full marks should go to the organisers who succeeded in sending everybody home safe.
